Hey bro, I am sorry to hear that! I am in the same boat with you. The background Spotlight worked only around 3 months after Windows 11 has been installed on my laptop as an update of Win 10. Then I even reinstalled it on many of my laptops/desktops and never ever it worked again. The only thing...

Hi Brink, also I wanted to add how it behaves when it stops working, though I don't know if it can help with anything to find the solution or not... 1) When it downloads and sets new wallpaper after the Iris is reset and 24 hours have past in Settings it is set to Picture though that new...

Unfortunately that will not help too. As I mentioned, I've just installed very recently my current OS and it's very clean version and this issue was present from the very beginning, right after installation. 😔 Thanks for you help anyway! If you ever have any new ideas I am happy to try.

Hi Brink, I'm here to confirm that the issue is still there (( The wallpapers have been just downloaded to both my user and the new one I created to test with English interface at the very beginning and both settings changed to Picture and staying on it even when I click Spotlight instead. As I...

Got it! Will try as this seems to be the last thing I can try if you don't know any other ways to resolve it! 🙂 Well as I see so far, it still greys out to Picture with GPEditor even with English UI, though I will still wait 24 hours until it downloads a new wallpaper just to make sure it will...

Yes, I also thought about it and created already and it looks to have exactly the same behavior there, but though I'm still checking. What is really strange! I reset the Iris app and when I can choose Spotlight until it sets the new wallpaper in 24 hours, right after I block it in the group...

It is there to select but right at that moment I click it, it sets to Photo, so in other words it doesn't select Spotlight even though it is there in list and I can click it... After I reset the Iris I can choose it again but only until 1st wallpaper is set after 24 hours. And then it turns...

Okay, as I've mentioned it doesn't allow me to change to Spotlight from settings until I reset the Iris app every time it gets stuck at Photo, I'll have to reset the Iris again and then apply the policy to check if it can lock it at Spotlight...

Done, but it greyed out and set to "Photo" in Settings instantly again! I just checked again these settings are kept at "1" and "3" wile the group policy blocks the ability to change background as long as I open the Settings app! Right after that those values are both reset to "0" again!

Excellent! This can really help! As the setting is now set to "Spotlight" after I put 1 and 3 in those reg settings again and as I understand it will be like that until tomorrow it changes the wallpaper again, so meanwhile I can apply this policy now to check...

No, absolutely, I never tried any of this kind. More over I have the very clean and fresh install of genuine system 24H2 with latest patch Tuesday. This behavior was exactly the same when I've been upgrading to newer versions (23H2, 24H2) on my other PCs. The only thing I had no idea how to...

Thanks a lot for the help and my greetings too! Yes, indeed I had "0" in both places, so I put "1" and "3" accordingly and then in my Settings the desktop was set to "Spotlight" again! But just in about few minutes as I've been writing the reply to you, it changed to the next wallpaper and set...

Hello Brink! Thanks for the instruction on how to reset the desktop background Spotlight! I've been wondering it since Win 11 has been released and it stopped working on my OS. So, currently after I reset it, it loads new desktop backgrounds after 24 hours but the thing is in OS settings it...
